  • Set: For extended wear in the T-zone, set with translucent powder if desired.
  • Finish: Complete your makeup routine as desired.
Pro Tip for Best Application: Work quickly, as the mousse dries down fast. Blend one section at a time for an even, seamless finish.
Pro Tip for Oily Skin: Use an oil-control primer underneath for extended matte wear throughout the day.
Pro Tip for Shade Matching: Match foundation to your neck and jawline for a seamless blend.
Pro Tip for Dry Patches: Ensure skin is well-moisturized before application, as the matte formula can accentuate dry areas if skin is not properly prepped.
